My birds started eating this right away.
It smells really good. Sometimes they don't eat different kinds of pellets but I could tell within the first couple of days that they were eating this because the morsels in the cup were getting smaller.

Answer:

small parrots are usually cockatiels and similarly sized birds. medium is usually conure type size to amazons. It varies though. this particular product can be broken up really easily to any size you want so it isn't really a problem if you go a size too large.

I see your question has been answered, but I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents. I have an African Grey. I buy the large pellets for him because he really prefers to hold them as he eats and the medium size just aren't big enough. They do tend to crumble easily and end up on the bottom of the cage, but I figure we'd have the same "problem" with the smaller ones, so I get what he prefers. I also noticed on the ingredient list on the bags, the smaller ones didn't have cayenne pepper listed (the large do). My bird didn't seem to eat the smaller ones (when I tried them) as readily as he does the larger. I'm guessing he likes the cayenne.

It probably depends a bit on how your parrot handles pellets. My Senegal likes to hold pellets in her foot to eat and so eats the medium size happily, but there is a lot of waste because these pellets crumble so easily. My cockatiel, however, won't touch the medium ones. He doesn't really hold food in his foot. I'm thinking of trying the smaller size for him and to see whether the Senegal will waste less if she eats the smaller ones.

Thank you for your question. Small is intended for cockatiels, lovebirds, budgies, etc. Medium is intended for Conures, Caiques, Senegals, African Greys, etc. The large is intended for Cockatoos, Macaws, Large Amazons, etc. I have updated our product page to reflect this information.
